Which lampshade would work with this brass and marble floor lamp?
Found this solid brass and marble floor lamp on Facebook market place for 25. It is beautiful ,marble made in Italy pretty designs. I personally like the original globe shade I can see the pictures on the wall. I have smaller furniture and this is a big lamp but I think it works.Thoughts on shade and what do I use to clean brass? Thanks

I like the pleated shade. The glass shade is too small. Use ketchup to clean the brass.
I agree with William about the shade, the glass is too small for the lamp.
I'll make it three who prefer the pleated shade. If for some reason you don't like the pleated shade, look for a lampshade of similar proportions in a fabric you prefer.
Thanks the pleated shade just sits on globe , not sure why the original shade is small
I believe that original shade is there to hold the other (pleated) lampshade....those globes were not meant to be used alone. At least that is what i have learned and observed over the years.....Noxon is also a wonderful cleaner for brass...I have a beautiful brass bed and that is what I have used for the last (almost) 60 years! Shines like gold.
The pleated shade is better but - this most likely originally came with a drum shade such as this one

I had this shade looks better than the big pleated shade this shade sits perfectly on the globe
Great discussion and I can add my vote for the pleated shade. At the same time I have to remark how interesting that all the discussion was about the shade ... and no discussion about how much light you need the lamp to give off?
Some lamps point up to the ceiling so the light can bounce down while others send diffused light in all directions.
Hi,
Use Brasso to clean the brass or general metal cleaner. As far as shade is concerned, use a tall flowerpot shape or a wide coolie style shade.
